This time, Naya couldn't care less. He put a hand over Empress Hulan's mouth. "Are you crazy? How can you say such things?"
Hulan struggled to free herself from his hand and sneered. "Is this considered nonsense?"
Naya's expression was uncertain. "What's wrong with you today?"
Hulan shook her head. "I don't know. It's been so many years. I thought I had accepted my fate, but seeing you like this today, the way you try to avoid me, I feel wronged."
Hearing the sobs in her voice, Naya was moved. "Then what do you want me to do? You're the Khan's Kedun now, one of the most powerful women in the world …"
Before he could finish, Hulan interrupted him. "But that's not what I want."
"Then what do you want?" Naya was really anxious now. The current situation had him on edge.
"You know what I want." Hulan gritted her teeth. "I asked you to take me far away, but you refused. What if I ask you again?"
Naya shook his head. "You've followed the Khan all these years. You should know how powerful the Mongols are now. We couldn't run back then, and we can't run now."
Empress Hulan smiled sadly. "I knew it would be like this, but you didn't even try to lie to me."
Even Song Qingshu, who was hiding in the shadows, felt wronged on Naya's behalf. He had never understood why some women would rather listen to sweet words that they knew were lies, and not be happy when the truth was told.
Naya said, "You and I both know that's impossible. What's the point of saying all this?"
"Why not?" Hulan said agitatedly. "The Khan has many wives and concubines in his palace. One more, and one less, doesn't matter. A few years ago, General Juchtai made a great contribution, so the Khan gave him Yibahe. Why can't we do the same? Juchtai is only a thousand-household, but you're already a ten-thousand-household! "
Naya said, "Yibahe is just an ordinary concubine, and you're already a Kedun. Everyone knows you're the second Empress. Why would the Khan give his Empress to his subordinate?"
Hu Lan said quietly, "The Khan hasn't touched me in two years."
For some reason, Naya's heart was beating wildly, "How is this possible? Aren't you the Great Khan's favorite?"
"No matter how beautiful a woman is, she's no longer interesting to the Khagan once her novelty wears off. Besides, I'm already old and withered. There are even more beautiful young concubines entering the palace. Why would I be tempted?" Empress Hulan's tone was tinged with self-deprecation and sorrow.
Seeing her sad face, Naya could not help but comfort her, "Who said that? Everyone in Mongolia says that you are the prettiest queen of the Khan."
Queen Hulan shook her head. "You're starting to lie now."
"I'm not lying, and this is what I really think. You're also very beautiful now." Naya looked at the woman in front of him from such a close distance, and thought of the feelings they shared in the past. He felt that she was even more beautiful now than she was back then.
"Really?" Empress Hulan looked at him in pleasant surprise, her eyes watery. Aiwei
Naya swallowed, feeling his throat go dry. "Of course it's true …"
Before he could finish, Hu Lan had already rushed into his arms, her soft, red lips kissing him.
Naya shuddered and instinctively wanted to push her away, but when he reached out and touched her voluptuous body, he did not know why he could not bear to part with her. He felt that his whole body was hot and bloated. Unknowingly, he held the woman he loved tightly in his arms, greedily tasting her beauty.
At first, he did not dare, but when he heard Hu Lan mention that the Khan had not touched her for two years, he thought that perhaps the Khan really did not like her after all these years. If so, it was not impossible to follow Shu Chitai's example.
Song QingShu couldn't help but frown as he watched Naya carry Empress Hulan into the room. There was something inexplicably strange about this whole affair.
"How did you do it?" he suddenly asked.
A coquettish laugh came from behind him. "Grand Master, you are too vigilant. When can I get close to you without being discovered?"
"I also look forward to that day," Song Qingshu said coolly. The seductive voice did not need to turn to know that it was Hai Wanli.
Hai Wanli's smile was like a flower. She was clearly in a good mood. "I am more and more interested in you. Although you are a little ugly, sometimes you have an inexplicable charm."
Song Qingshu did not take it to heart. This woman's words could not be trusted. "How did you do it? Aren't you afraid that the two of them will see each other?"
He had invited Naya, and Empress Hulan had been tricked into coming by Hai Wanli. Now that they had met here, it was obvious that this was a trap.
"That is why I said you don't understand women." Hai Wanli's eyes were full of charm. "Naya may be suspicious, but when Hulan sees her lover, especially when he leaves as soon as he sees her, her suppressed emotions will only make her irrational. Irrational things are contagious, and Naya has been led astray by her."
Song Qingshu still did not understand. "Even if what you say is true, the two of them are at most reminiscing about old times. But now that they are on fire …" Based on his understanding of Naya, he should not be so impulsive.
Hai Wanli grabbed a wisp of air and brought it to the tip of his nose. "Don't you smell something sweet in the air?"
Song Qingshu blinked. "You drugged it? But if you leave a trace like this, it will be discovered later. You won't be able to frame Naya, you might even get yourself into trouble. "
Hai Wanli blinked at him. "So you are that worried about me."
Song Qingshu snorted. "I am just afraid that you will get me into trouble. After all, I am the one who came here."
"Don't worry." Hai Wanli looked at the shadows in the distance. "It is not a powerful drug, but a common perfume in the Western Region. It just has a small effect of amplifying love and longing. As long as they do not have feelings for each other, it does not matter how much they smell it. Just like you, you smell it now, but you have no reaction."
"They were in love back then, but Hulan was worried that she would kill Naya, so she offered herself to the Great Khan. Naya has always blamed himself for this, and could only suppress everything in his heart. The two of them are like two barrels of long-suppressed gunpowder. All they need is a spark to ignite it. "
Seeing the excitement on Hai Wanli's face, Song Qingshu could not help cursing in his mind. What a perverted woman.
